Bluejay
I was in the store earlier today thinking about names, and which sounds I especially like. I kind of mouthed 'oo' and 'ay', and Bluejay popped into my mind. What do you think? I'm not sure if I like it or not. I know it is probably too unrealistic for a child, but what do you think about it, in theory? Boy or girl? I think it'd work better on a boy, personally, because of the "Jay" part. So, anyway, opinions?

NMSAA.That sounds really silly in my opinion. I would personally never take a person who names their child Bluejay seriously. And I'd feel sorry for the child.

I'm sorry but I find it silly. It's one of those names like Blackbird and Sparrow, that would look really weird in any real-life situation, whether on children or adults.

That is cute...But perhaps a little too cute. If I was to hear Bluejay and not allow it to remind me of anything, it would definitely be on a boy. I like it...

I actually really like it. I'm rather fond of bird names (Blackbird, Kestrel, Sparrow... hehehe) and this one even has a nice sound to it. Very nice. I would be inclined to use it on a girl, but it would definately work either way.

It's the name of a program development tool used by computer scientists. So I can't see it on a child!S xx

Sure, why not? I know a little boy named Blue Rider. Bluejay could just go by Jay.I couldn't rationally diss this no matter what, anyway, since I love Blackbird as a girl's mn.

Oooh, Blackbird! I just might have to add that to my list of GPs ;)

You can't be serious. Would be called "Blow J."

Yep. That was my first thought too.Cute name in theory, but I don't think it could ever work without problems like this.

I disagree . . .(I know, how unusual, right?)I'm in high school. The kid would be called Blowjay, trust me.

Whatever Blowjay. Let's see if you like it.hmmmm

I only see it as someone who's immature makes fun of other people [why would you want to hurt others on purpose or at all it's really mean-spirited IMO]. I've been called worse things tehn that so it wouldn't faze me. Like Isaid before Blowjay doesn' make any sense and I don't see how someone could get Blow from Blue.

Where I live, they sound very similar. I think =A= is native to an area relatively close to where I live.

That would probably do it then. I'm from the West Coast (as is Sabrina Fair, I believe) and while the two are somewhat similar what with the "bl" sound at the beginning the two don't sound close enough for me to really make that connection.

Hopefully Caspar and Theodora Pike :) j/k

Oh, I think it's kind of cute. :D Probably not as a first name, but it would be nice as a middle name.

Blue Jay is a tad too much for me, but as a nn it is totally doable. I used to really like Jay and I still do in the I'd never use it because its so highschool to me way.
